PATENT OFFEeE FREDERICK J.CUTEIBER'JISON, OF HAVEN, CONNECTICUT 'coMrAnT ENr nrsn Application filed March 2,

My invention relates to an improved dish for chilling and serving hors-doeuvre, the object being to provide a convenient, efiective and handsome dish for serving a variety of hors-doeuvre segregated in separate compartments. and chilled by cracked ice beneath them. i

With these ends in view,

. sists in a dish for segregating and chilling hors-doeuvre consisting of a relatively-deep ice-bowl, a concentric integral supporting, flange rising from the I bowl, and a plurality of sector-shaped horsdceuvre dishes-fitting together to form a 5 complementary circle and resting upon the said supportingflange and upon. the upper edge of the bowl.

In the'accompanying drawings:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of my improved horsdoeuvre dish; g V

Fig. 2 is a viewthereof in vertical central section on the line 2- 2 of Fig. 1;

Fig.7 3 is a perspective viewthereof with the sector-shaped hors-doeuvre dishes and y invention conice removed; and

'- Fig'. 4; is a detached perspectiveview of one ofthe sector-shaped hors-dceuvre dishes. In "carrying out my invention as herein shown, I employ a relatively-deep circular ice-bowl 5 having a wide nearly-horizontal rim or marly 6 and formed with an integral concentric supporting-flange 7 rising from its bottom, as shown, to about half its height, though the height of the flange maybe varied asdesired. Within the upper portion of the saidbow-l 5 I locate a plurality of .flat-bot tomed sector-shaped hors-doeuvre dishes 8 having supporting-flanges 9 projecting from their arcuate outer edges. As shown, the 9 four dishes 8 are quadrants and together fill the upperhalf of the icebowl but they may be Varied in number and capacity as desired,

so long as. they are adapted, when assembled, to' fill the upper part 7 I they will be supported by the resting of their of the bowl 5, in which bottom portions upon the flange ,7 thereof or its equivalent,and by the resting of their flanges 9 upon the rim 6 of the bowl.

' In using myimproved dish the annular ice-chamber 1O surrounding. the concentric bottom of the said the said concentric flange so as to symmetriron Hons nmuvnn 1929. -'Serial No. 343,936.

supporting-flange 7' ofthe icebowl is filled withbroken, crushed or pulverized ice to a height even with the upper edge of the said flange, after which the horse-doeuvre dishes 8 are installed over the ice,whereby the horsdcsuvre dishes will be promptly chilledand kept so until the ice melts. If desired, the circular chamber within the flange 7 may also befilled with ice. p

Preferably, the means, within the bowl, for supporting the hors-doeuvredishes will be .in the form-of an integral circular supporting-flange 7 as shown, though this is not essential so long as the supporting-means rises fromthe bottom of the bowl to a sufli cient height to provide for an ample supply of ice and provides a suflicient-ly stable sup- 7 port for the hors-doeuvre dishes which will i be exteriorly supported by their. arcuate flanges upon the rim or edge of the bowl. 7

- 7 I claim:

A dish for segregating andlchilling hors- I ,dceuvre, consistmg of a circular relativelye deep ice-bowl having its upper edge provided with an outstanding annular rim, an

integral concentric supporting-fiange rising from the bottom of-the said bowl and having I its upper: edge located well below the said annular rim thereof and forming an annular ice-chamber in conjunction with the outer wall and bottom thereof, and a plurality of sector-shaped hors-docuvre dishes fitting within the upper portion of the bowl to form a complementary circle filling the same, provided upon their arcuate edges 'with .sup- 0 porting-flanges restingfupon the said rim of the bowl and having their inner portions resting upon and extending inwardly over cally overhang the same and abut near the center thereof, whereby they are held against radial inward I or outward displacement.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification. g
